Holly Willoughby heated up the rink on Dancing On Ice’s opening night in a dazzling dress with a plunging neckline.
The presenter, 36, looked stunning in the billowing blue Grecian-style gown, which featured a halterneck with a bow and an elegant tie at the waist.

Willoughby caused a sensation on the ITV programme back in 2008 when her revealing white dress drew complaints from viewers.
The celebrity ice skating show returned on Sunday night after a four-year hiatus.
Viewers said Willoughby looked “amazing” and “like a Disney princess” as she took to the ice alongside co-presenter Phillip Schofield.
“Holly’s dress is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!” one fan wrote on Twitter, while another said: “Okay so holly willoughby looks flawless tonight. i’m in love.”

The only slight quibble people had was with Willoughby’s choice of shoes.
“@hollywills looking stunning as always but did I notice flat shoes on under that lovely dress?!” asked one viewer.
